Citalopram
medication Under reviewA selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant used to treat major depressive disorder and other conditions.
Research summary
Clinical research demonstrates that citalopram is significantly more effective than placebo in treating moderate-to-severe major depression, with particularly robust effects at doses of 40-60 mg/day. A multicenter study of 650 patients showed consistent improvement across multiple depression rating scales, with good tolerability and only 15% discontinuation due to adverse events. Response to citalopram may be influenced by genetic variation, with certain GRIK4 gene variations predicting better treatment response. However, recent population-based cohort analyses suggest potential safety concerns in vulnerable populations, particularly older adults with reduced kidney function.
